Logarithmic Time

Dozenal Time (Logarithmic)

The logarithmic system has the time format 10 : 100 : 100.This is the universal standard among dozenalists.

Daily Time

Days to HoursWith normal decimal time, we break days into 24 hours. It would be reasonable to translate 24 into 20 dozenal hours and call it a day, but I'd like to go a step further. I'd like to go back to the original definition for what a day is.24 hours comes from 2 sets of 12, one for day, one for night.

But why the confusion between AM and PM? Time zones are really confusing when there are 24 divisions, then having to again see if it's in AM or PM, it's frustrating. Changing the original 20 hours to 10 hours (24 to 12 decimal) creates a handy 10 we can work with. With 10 hours making a day, the 1 : 10 ratio makes it easy to convert. It also gets rid of that ugly AM PM business.

To better represent the sun, the numbers have been inverted, 6:00 means the sun is right overhead. Before 3 and after 9, the sun starts to drop below the horizon.

If you're from the northern hemisphere, the clock should go clockwise,representing East to West while looking South.

If you're from the southern hemisphere, the clock should go anti-clockwise,representing East to West while looking North.

Hours to MinutesFor each hour, originally we count 60 minutes in every hour, a pretty nice number to work with. 60 is half of 100 in dozenal, but again, this is not good enough, I'd like to go a step further.

If we continue the 1 : 10 ratio, the next logical number would be 10. Unfortunately, 10 would get used up pretty fast.Imagine counting 10 minutes and then you got to an hour, what would be the point in a minute? This is why we give it 10 times the dose, making 100.Change 60 minutes to 100 seconds

To keep in pattern with our hourly clock above, the clock will again be inverted. The clock will also again be rotating clockwise if you are in the northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise if you are in the southern hemisphere.
